Cap One Platinum to QS

Back in December my mailbox was flooded with pre-approvals from Capital One Platinum MC offers (literally got 7 in a month).  I decided what the heck and applied and got 2 cards each with a $300 limit, no AF and Credit Steps program.  Pathetically low limits I know, but I was excited to have anything.  I have made all payments on time and always several times throughout the month.  I haven't yet received a CLI which is frustrating to me, but when I initiated a chat they said that I will get it by the 7th statement (still 2 months out..grrr). While I was on chat though, I decided to see if they had any upgrade offers for me and they did! They upgraded both my Cap One Platinum Cards to QS cards with no AF!!!  I am hoping to get those CLI soon, but I'm starting to feel like things are changing!   Whoo hoo for rebuliding and Thank you to everyone on this forum for the great advice!   I would have never thought to ask for an upgrade before seeing it suggested here.

  • Cap One QS sudden CLI

    My Cap One QS CL automatically jumped from $750 to $2750 this morning - I opened this card 12 months ago with $500 CLI and 0% APR for 9 months- CLI increased from $500 to $750 around January- I requested a CLI back in April but was declined- Past couple months I started paying down my QS balance in big chunks from 87% to 7% (as the intro rate expired)- This morning I logged in and saw my CL as $2750 but no congrats email from Cap One yet I'm hoping to increase my score by lowering my overall utilization, I also brought down my Credit One card to 7% last week.I also have a Cap One Platinum MC, they offered me a CLI by November if I pay $125 each month  

    Great news! Congrats!

  • Cap One EO Doubles My CL!

    Hello all...The Cap One EO has treated me right yet again!!! They called me on Thursday, only 2 days after I sent my email. I asked for 2x my CL, plus an upgrade to a World Elite MC. I just logged in and saw I had already been granted my CLI to $15,000. That was the fastest turn around I have ever experienced. The rep told me it would take until Wednesday. I will let you all know if my WMC or WEMC status is granted as well. I started with a $500 credit steps platinum only 3 years ago and thanks to the info gotten from myFICO I have been able to get to where I never thought possible. Thanks to all!

    Is this a QS MC? I'll be calling EO on the 29th, 6 months from my last CLI and "account upgrade". I had a Plat that was at $1500, got a CLI of $3000 up to $4500! I chatted with a rep to get it converted to a QS MC. EO told me back then that the QS conversion was an upgrade and even they could only do one upgrade every 6 months. I'm interested to see if they'll give you the WEMC. I know there's a WMC version but it'd be nice to see a QS WEMC! That's what I'm going to ask for too, and if they can't do the World Elite, just get it converted to a World. Gotta do something to stay sane in the garden
    OzHey Ozix...Yes, this is a QS Mastercard that started out as a regular $39 AF Platinum. Each upwards step I have attained has been through the EO...every six months. I'll update my WMC/WEMC status as soon as I hear back from them. Good luck to you on the 29th!

  • Capital One Platinum Instant Approval

    I just applied for the Capital One Platinum this morning after it showing up on the prequal site and got an instant approval for $500! I know it's not much but its exciting to me lol. This is only my second card, but its one more card towards getting back on track. Looking forward to posting more cc approvals on here with help from you guys!

    It is exciting.  I fondly remembered my first card with Cap. One and I have grown leaps and bounds since then and I know you can too!  Be excited, it's a great start. WTG

  • Capital One Platinum MasterCard

    I hace 3 capital one cards. One is secured and 2 are quiksilver ones. One was a regular platinum and one statement cut already, I tried to change it to qs through secure message didn't work. Then when I did the online chat they just changed it to qs one no problems! My credit scores are baaaaaad...rebuilding right now. So I do recommend you can probably change it to the rewards qs.

    Is that PreApproval from CapOne or another company. The way I see it and the way I have done it. Is that I went to get as many CC's as I could but yet BE SURE that the banks are reputable. I stayed away from any CC that charges high interest and high annual fees, etc. because quite honestly that is NOT helping you. There many that offer you a $700 Limit but by the time you get the card you can only us like $300 because they take all the fees. I can't remember what banks they were but it was ridiculous with $100 AF, 34% APR and nickel and dime you. There many options for you to get a decent secured card like Wells Fargo, BofA many Credit Unions. It will depend how damaged your credit is and how recent. Time is the only way you can fix things. If Cap One gave you a QS plus your secured.  If the 3rd is CapOne also I would get it. Let those age together because it doesn't make much sense to wait for one card to age then get another. You might as well get as many as you can then build those. Build your rapport with the bank so they increase you. Cap One will tell you if it is secured or not. Their cards all serve a purpose and have different tiers with criteria.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • Capitol one platinum approved, now trying to figure out my next steps Please advise

    I also am new to this forum after many years of neglecting my credit I have made it a focus to rebuild my credit. I also have recently received my new Capitol one platinum card, and I am about to cut my first statement. I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum, as I finally feel like I have a grasp on my credits future. I have been using my 300 limit as a debit card and have made multiple payments this month, as I have cycled about 700 in charges and payments in the last 2 weeks. Additionally as well as called CO and got my cut date which happens to be today.
    i made sure my balance was at 3% utilization, and plan on making my first statement payment this week. From what I see a lot of people are getting love with the CLI. My question is since this is my first credit card in a few years, should I hit the luv button early, or wait? Other than this card I have student loans and a new car loan that started back in January, all my account are in good standing for the last 2 years, despite the fact that I have 2 baddies and a civil judgement for a cafeteria school bill for my kids lunch program.
    Another question I have is that I also before getting approved for the CO platinum, I got approved for the CO secured card with a deposit of 99. My question is should I complete the deposit on the CO secured card, or should I let it lapse and milk my CO platinum card for few months before trying for a CO quicksilver one card?
    My current Ficos are EX 577, EQ 572 and TU 585. I am hoping once my new credit card reflects on my credit report that I will get a bump. My goal is 700's across the boards as soon as possible.
    Thanks agin this forum and everyone in it has been a Answer to prayer.

    IMHO you should (a) go ahead with the secured card, (b) use both cards but pay them down to zero over and over, and (c) go slowly on adding new cards. Inquiries and newly opened accounts are considered negatives, so sometimes the best 'building' you can do is do nothing but pay your bills fast.

  • Very Happy with Cap One EO-Recon

    So my wife and I had to both recon this year with Cap One and were pleasantly surprised by the customer service we received. We are both near the end of our rebuilding stage with FICO scores in the 700-710 range. We were both approved for Venture cards with 15k and 20k limits. After explaining the reasons for some historical baddies the CSR quickly approved the appls.  My wife had three prev accts with CO I had none.

  • Capital One Platinum CLI Question

    I have received a Capital One Platinum Mastercard back in August.
    Tomorrow is my 5th statement being cut but I keep reading about steps increases every 6 months.
    I never got a letter or email about being in the steps program.
    If I'm not in steps what am I looking at for a possible CLI and when?
    Thanks in advanced.

Is there anything else I can help you with today?" Well that chat failed miserably

  • Have You Been Thought This Situation With Cap One...

    Honestly anything can happen. What we do know is that cap1 likes to see usage and doesn't mind seeing a balance.

They took it down to fix bugs but said it'd be back. You could at that point combine the two for a larger limit, then push a bunch of money through it, and then get a nice CLI (hopefully). Just a thought.

  • 5 WAY BATTLE! DCU/PenFed/USAA/NFCU/Cap One

    So I was in the market for a 2015 ford mustang GT premium with all the bells and whistles. Found one sticker price was 46 almost 47K. Negotiated price, trade in (had negative equity but got the dealer to agree to pay it off), rebates, so on and so forth. Originally would have been around 54 after tax, ended up with 46 after tax needed a 39K loan. Here's what I got: DCU pulled EQ and said I had a 655 (lower than myfico) , approved for 40K (i think I had room to ask for more) at 4.49 for up to 65 months.Capital One approved up to 40K between 2.53% and 5.84% depending on length of term and modelUSAA approved for 3.75% up to 72 months and 4.49% at 84 months up to 60KPenfed approved 2.74% for no named cap but gave me the 40K I asked for up to 72 monthsand.... Navy Federal who I have 1/3 of my products with lost a customer to Penfed. Approved originally at 6.79% for no named cap up to 72 months. I reconned and told them USAA (only ones that had decision from at that moment) had offered me 3.75. They countered with 6.54%. Sooo taking my checking, savings, CDs and credit card business and dispersing between USAA and Cap One since they don't seem to value me. Anyway, I went with USAA at the time (prior to Penfed giving me their decision) and now Penfed changed the approval to a refi approval so i'll use them instead. I have quite a few derogatory marks on my file from 2 years and 3 years ago. No open collections. One paid charge off. One 120 day late from 2011. Clean report since July 2013. Income 86K. Inquiries between 9-15 depending on report. No negatives on previous auto loan. Average age of accounts 4 years.

Average age of accounts 4 years.I love Mustangs! I think PenFed is your best option, my only other suggestion is try and stay away from 60+ months loans. It is easier to pay  but you will always be in negative equity state. If you do decide to take a 6 year note, either hold the car for six years or pay it like if it was a 4 year note. In that way if you decide get 2021 Mustang, you will be all set (if you pay it over six years) or a 2019 Mustang (If you pay it off in four years with a six year loan). Fee

  • Skeptical about Cap One Pre-Qual. Update:Approved!

    I have been trying Capital One prequal for about 2 months,I put the following in the form: *rebuilding and *not sure (for type of card). I did not get any pre approved offers. Then a few nights ago I did the pre-qual again and got "approved" for venture, quicksilver and Plat prestige.And to be honest, I have been struggling about putting an app in due to my tax liens. Then today I realized I have been selecting "Rebuilding" for "rate your credit" and got nothing, and when I accidentally put in average, I got preapproved for top tier cards! To me, if I looked good for Venture and QS, I would look really good good for Platinum, but that's not the case - so my skepticism is at all time high! Anyone have any insights or want to try the pre approval and select "rebuilding" even if you have good scores? Thanks!

    I know you weren't sure about being approved, but seeing you were approved for 10K Venture, I'll guarantee you would've been approved for the QS at 5K with no AF for sure. But I know. You weren't sure so you went low instead. Totally understandable. Congrats !!!!Believe me, I went back and forth on that for about an hour after I decided to pull the trigger. I figured that if it was a "mistake" that I was prequalified after they looked deeper in my file that an approval with QS1 is better than a denial with QS. I honestly thought I'd get  a toy limit either way, so 3K +10K was a massive win.Things in my favor that I did over the past three months 1. Getting all med collections paid and deleted - thanks myfico forums2. Correcting all my employment and address info across the three bureaus - thanks myfico forums3. Opening a secured card with a $500 limit and having it report at less than 10 % (my only active card) - a big thanks to myfico forums Other things in my favor:Aoa - 8 yearsNo lates on Mortgage for 2 1/12 yearsNo lates on 2nd mortgage which does not show as a mortgage but as an installment loan for 2 1/2 yearsMuch Higher Mortgage scores than fico 8's - see signatureCap one appears to be tax lien friendly (obviously)Decent income $60-$70K Things not in my favor that were convincing me not to apply One 3 year old charge off, not Cap oneOne 2 year old settled for less than full - not Cap OneLots of  lates when I was modifying mortgage prior to 2 1/2 years ago  One thing that almost convinced me to stop on the Venture one was clicking the "i" on the application that said this: Do BOTH of these describe you?
    defaulted
    I have never declared bankruptcy or defaulted
    on a loan.I have not been more than 60 days
    late on any credit card, medical bill, or loan in
    the last year.
    - AND -
    I have had a loan or credit card for 3 years or
    more with a credit limit above $5,000. Good things: Today I actually called SDFCU where I had just applied for another secured $300 card and had them stop the application! Also, now looking back, I wish I didn't do the SCT for two department store cards. But only two, so it's not too bad. They have not even reported yet and had no bearing on my Cap 1 applications. Advice: Check all levels when you do the pre qual! In other words do it once with rebuliding and once with average and excellent. It's only because I accidentally clicked average and not rebuilding that I saw approvals! Know all of your scores and what specific lendors use. I hope this info helps someone! I can't say enough about Cap 1 - they actually looked at my most current credit history and gave me a chance. I am totally good for now until I need a car loan! 

  • Capital One Platinum?

    I have just begun my credit rebuilding journey. About a month ago, I applied for a secured card from my bank and was approved for $300 minimum. I sent them the $300, and read that CapOne is pretty lenient with approving secured cards, so I applied with them as well. I got approved and had to send them the deposit. I talked my grandparents into adding me as an AU on a credit card with a $9k limit and $0 balance that they've had since 1987. That AU alone bumped my scores 20+ points on EX and EQ. TU had the wrong address for me, so it didn't pick up on the AU but I sent them a letter requesting change of address.  Anyway, with my scores slightly higher, I was feelin' froggy and I had been reading that CapOne QS1 is pretty relaxed with their approvals. I thought I most likely would not get approved if I applied but it was worth a shot. I applied yesterday and got the "7-10 day" message. I read on the forums that if you get this message, its not an approval or denial, and to call the BD number the following day to ask them if they needed any more info. I called them today and to my surprise, the account specialist told me I was approved for $300 (better than nothing, and I was ectstatic to finally have a real card) and to expect the card within 7-10 days.  Now my question is, I've been reading some people had better luck with CapOne Platinum but denied a CapOne QS1. Since I've already got the QS1, what are the chances I could get approved for a Platinum? And if I do it today, would it still be with the 3 HPs from yesterday? I'd like to be able to get both of those unsecured, keep my CapOne secured, and either close or keep my bank secured card. Not sure what the best option is. Thanks in advance.

    First congratulations!! Second, I wouldn't go for the Platinum right now, because it seems sometimes when you start out with Capital One's sub-prime cards, they get stuck at low credit limits and won't grow. Give yourself some more time, use the cards you have over the next few months, and before you know it, you'll get approved for better cards.

  • Capital One Platinum new look + chip

    Looks like Capital One updated their website with the new look for the Platinum card: 

    That's what the secured cards look like too. I opened a secured account back in April or May and received the old white/silver card. The following month when I added DW as an AU, two cards arrived. One for me also. The new card with the chip, same as hers. My new card is the same number, exp, and security code on the back.
    I wonder if I can use the old card still? Hehe. When I added the original card to Apple Pay, the phone displayed the new card design before the new card design rolled out onto the site.

  • Use HP from Cap One Credit Card to discuss Auto Loan

    Hey folk.  As the title says, has anyone tried using the pull they do for the card to then discuss an auto loan with cap1 auto finance? I thought it would be a good way to investigate where I am with them as we need to get a second car soon without another triple pull.
